Henry Ford Health System

In 1915, automotive pioneer Henry Ford had a vision to provide world-class health care to every man, woman, and child. Assembling doctors to work in teams, the institution challenged the medical conventions of the day and sparked innovations like never before. This innovation began at Henry Ford Hospital, which has proudly served as an anchor in Detroit for 100 years. Over the decades, Henry Ford has expanded its system with four additional hospitals and a network of medical centers and ancillary services that collectively serve more than a million patients throughout Southeast Michigan, across the state, around the nation, and throughout the world.

The talent and dedication of Henry Ford’s physicians, employees, volunteers, and the generosity of its philanthropic family has allowed the health system to establish world-renowned research and education programs and award-winning community outreach. Throughout the Henry Ford Medical Group, one of the nation’s largest, leading-edge research, medicine, and clinical expertise is provided.

The enduring legacy of Henry Ford and his family is one of generosity. Henry Ford Health System’s donors continue to provide support for medical advancement, innovative research, and pioneering treatments. These investments have helped Henry Ford Health System impact health and wellness across the globe.
